Good purchaseI bought this for my prek classroom. The books are small, but the content is good for community helpers unit. I wouldn't recommend leaving in the hands of young kids as the cover is like cardboard material and can easily rip apart. Overall good books for the price.

Informational, fun productPurchased this set of readers for my sons' homeschooling, and was very satisfied with the content and quality of the product. A great resource for our social studies, and a good introduction for children to various occupations and their community impact.

These readers are being used for a career day theme.Often we are so busy day in and day out to talk with out children about what they want to be when they grow up. These readers get the conversation started. It would have been good to vary the ethnicity more. However, it is still a good solid array. Current television programs teach diversity like the new Animal Planet show about three Black Veterinarians who started a practice in Houston, TX. We will get the diversity by using examples on Television or in our own town. We paired these Readers with the Life Poster signs about: Stop and Study, O Limits, etc. Very motivational and inspirational.

Nice set of booksThis is a nice set of paperback books which are perfect for a unit on community helpers. The books are about 4x4 inches and a great size for little hands. The text is appropriate for K-1st graders.

Jobs explainedGood for pre school to 1st graders. Pictures and explanations are given for different jobs for the community. It starts a discussion on what do I want to grow up and "be". Several occupations are listed as a little too "POLITICAL" also several are left out that are important to a solid community.

Great product, but lacks cultural diversityI bought these books for a community center I have in my classroom. I love the books in general! The pictures are great, the text is challenging but ideal for picking out sight words, and the range of occupations is wide. But, every single person pictured on the front of the covers can be classified as white, except for one lady who could classify as hispanic. I work at a very high risk school, and I'm a little worried about their ability to identify with the books. Now there are characters within the books of different races, but I'm just a little dissapointed in the overall lack of portraying our ethnic society.
